Finasteride + Minoxidil + HRT

I am on all three.

Started August 2025 on 2mg sublingual estradiol (low dose, ik) and 2.5mg oral minoxidil

Added 1mg oral finasteride in December 2025

Switched to 4mg / 5 days EV injections early April 2026

Experienced massive shedding for a few months with noticable losses, has slowed down as of late and i hope to see progress soon

I experienced depression and even suicidal ideation at times, BUT i have a history of this, so im unsure if it is related to meds

Body hair growth seems about the same, idk. Maybe the loss from E is cancelling out the growth from Min. Currently doing IPL and hoping for the best

I use nizoral shampoo as i have dermatitis on the scalp but other than that i dont do anything special

I have seen some gains but nowhere near my goal. but it is still early

here is my reddit thread on my hair journey so far

Why should we force trans youth to go through puberty when they don't have to? Unnecessary trauma. So many trans people wish they could have started when they were teenagers

Being trans, they already have enough of a tough road ahead of them. Why make it any harder than it has to be?
